Hillary Clinton ‘Agreed’ to Leak Trump–Alfa Bank Allegation to Media, Ex-Campaign Manager Testifies

Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign manager, said that Clinton “agreed” to leak allegations that the Trump Organization had a secret communications channel with Russia’s Alfa Bank to the media during his Friday testimony in the Michael Sussmann false-statement trial.

Mook said that he and the campaign were unsure of the evidence’s credibility at the time, and that part of the purpose of leaking it to the press was to have a reporter “run it down” further and “vet it out.”
